A light that follows your cursor around so you don't lose it!
#+TITLE: Beacon --- Never lose your cursor again
This is a global minor-mode. Turn it on everywhere with: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (beacon-mode 1) #+END_SRC
[[file:example-beacon.gif]]
Whenever the window scrolls a light will shine on top of your cursor so you know where it is.
That’s it.
** Customizations
-
The appearance of the beacon is configured by ~beacon-size~ and ~beacon-color~.
-
The duration is configured by ~beacon-blink-duration~ and ~beacon-blink-delay~.
-
To customize /when/ the beacon should blink at all, configure ~beacon-blink-when-window-scrolls~, ~beacon-blink-when-window-changes~, and ~beacon-blink-when-point-moves~.
-
To prevent the beacon from blinking only on specific situations configure ~beacon-dont-blink-major-modes~, ~beacon-dont-blink-predicates~, or ~beacon-dont-blink-commands~. You can also disable it only in specific buffers by doing ~(setq-local beacon-mode nil)~.
-
Beacon can also push the mark for you whenever point moves a long distance. For this, configure ~beacon-push-mark~.
